Great Luck

Chapter 160

Zhu Tianxiang played a trick to kill with a borrowed knife, and successfully poured dirty water on the head of veteran Wang Bingkun.However, this kind of behavior also frustrated Emperor Chengwu's purpose. Perhaps out of anger, Emperor Chengwu actually asked King Jing to repair Zhu Tianjiang.

After King Jing received the imperial order, he did not send anyone to arrest the 'criminal official' Zhu Tianjiang, but instead came to the Qian Palace with the king's whip.

From the very beginning of this matter, Prince Jing was somewhat dissatisfied with Emperor Cheng Wu's actions.He knew that this imperial brother was full of wariness towards Zhu Tianjiang, fearing that this kid would turn into a fierce tiger out of the cage, no one would be able to subdue him.However, Prince Jing also understood that Zhu Tianjiang was not an idiot, and he could accept limited suppression.Once Emperor Cheng Wu was controlled by his own wariness and suspicion, suppressing Zhu Tianjiang beyond his psychological bottom line, Zhu Tianxiang would probably make a move that Dafeng would regret.King Jing had no choice but to come to Qian Palace to persuade his brother.

Inside the Qian Palace, King Jing asked all the eunuchs on duty to retreat, and only the two brothers sat in different positions in the huge palace.

"Brother Huang, you and I have never disagreed on the overall situation since we were young. But on the issue of Zhu Tianjiang, I have to refute you a few words." Putting it on his legs, he said with a deep face.

Emperor Cheng Wu was not so serious, he smiled slightly and said, "Prince Jing, it seems that you are going to disobey my brother's will?"

"Brother Huang, I want to ask you, Zhu Tianjiang has led the army twice, what is his ability in your eyes?"

"Well, he can be called a genius in this world. Except for Guo Tianxin, who is calm and good at fighting, I am afraid that no one can match him."

"Then what is his contribution?"

"Great achievements are unrivaled in the world."

"Since he is such a talented person and has made such contributions, why does the emperor keep making things difficult for him? I know that the more capable a person is, the more tempered he is. Leave me in Dafeng." Prince Jing said worriedly.

Emperor Cheng Wu stood up and walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, "Prince Jing, what worries me about my brother is not that he will leave, but that he will replace him in the future. You and I are still alive, this kid may not dare to do anything. But you and I A hundred years later, neither of my two emperors will be his opponent. Needless to say Xuan Zhu, Xuan Le is more than calm, but not good at controlling the overall situation. If Zhu Tianjiang is not subdued, it will be a disaster sooner or later." Emperor Cheng Wu was gloomy. Said with a straight face.

Prince Jing was startled, "Brother Huang, do you want to eradicate Zhu Tianjiang?"

Emperor Cheng Wu took a look at Prince Jing and shook his head, "No, I can't do that. To be honest, I like him very much, not to mention that I am currently facing enemies in Dafeng, and it is just the time when I need generals. Even I am wary of him, and I can't kill good officials, that's not the way to govern the country."

"Brother Huang, I don't understand what you mean. If this is the case, why don't you win him over, why do you keep suppressing him?"

"Zhu Tianxiang is a very cunning kid, and he has endless tricks. If you don't find him something to do, this kid will make time for other things. He is so young and powerful. Plus, the officials will definitely flatter and form a new force around Zhu Tianjiang. I just want to let the officials see that this kid is not the person I like. In that case, Zhu Tianjiang will be in court. There will be an opposition in the hall. As the emperor, I have to think about our Li family, and I cannot let one minister dominate at any time. Only when the ministers are against each other, can the emperor control the balance. No, you can’t stop, once you make a mistake, all the officials will attack you.”

Prince Jing nodded, thinking from the perspective of the descendants of the Li family, Cheng Wu's words were not unreasonable.

"Brother Huang, that's what I said. But I, Dafeng, are currently with few talents, and strong enemies from the north and south are spying on me, so it's not suitable for another situation of internal fighting. Besides, Zhu Tianxiang tried the case of the guilty minister, and the emperor has already agreed not to intervene." .Now let the younger brother pursue the responsibility, I am afraid that this child from heaven will not be able to withstand this blow."

"Hahahaha!" Cheng Wuhuang suddenly laughed.

Prince Jing looked at Emperor Cheng Wu suspiciously, wondering if his words were so funny.

Emperor Cheng Wu finished laughing, pointed at Prince Jing and said, "I say you, if you really care about it, you will be in chaos. Brother knows that you are determined to betroth Yu'er to him. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for this son-in-law. Prince Jing, you should follow your brother's orders and make sure this kid will accept it happily."

Prince Jing doubted whether Emperor Cheng Wu was talking nonsense. Zhu Tianjiang had made great contributions, not only did he not receive any reward, but now he had to punish him, so that no one would accept it.

Before King Jing could ask what crime he was charged with, Wei Zhenghai ran in in a panic.

"Master, it's not good. Wang Bingkun and Zhu Tianjiang each brought their officials to fight outside the palace gate. They said that if the emperor punishes each other, they will block the palace gate today."

Emperor Cheng Wu smiled wryly, looked at King Jing and said, "My good minister, it is not convenient for me to come forward in this matter."

"It's me again?" Prince Jing's face was as if he had eaten bitter melon, and he, the prince, had become a peacemaker to persuade the fight.

Outside the palace gate, Zhu Daguan led the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and the Security Court, and they were scolding a group of veterans headed by Wang Bingkun.

"Wang Bingkun, don't rely on the old to sell the old, and break the official's promise not to kill. If you give me an explanation today, I will never end with you."

"Zhu Tianjiang, don't be so rampant, and let the crime of treason be released privately, if the emperor doesn't investigate you, I will kneel and die on the court~!"

The two groups of people came and went, trying to speak for their own people.On Zhu Tianjiang's side, Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and the others knew that this was a play for others to see, and no one took it seriously.But Shen Baigong didn't know what was going on inside, and really thought that the official Zhu was extremely angry, so he jumped up and cursed.Usually when he saw these veterans, he was as polite as seeing his own father, but today he was caught, and his voice became hoarse when he scolded.

King Jing led two teams of clan officials, and rushed out in mighty force.The officers of the two teams stood in the middle, which naturally separated the two groups of people.

"What's the noise? I think this is some kind of place. Those who don't know think it's a vegetable market." King Jing said mightily, slapping the king's whip.

"Prince Jing, I want to see the emperor. Zhu Tian has committed a heinous crime. If the emperor does not punish me severely, I will wait~!"

"Okay, ok, I know you're going to kneel down again to remonstrate, my lord. Brother Huang is in poor health, and it's inconvenient for everyone to see him, so I will decide everything." King Jing said, and glanced at Zhu Tianjiang.

"King Jing is thousand years old, Wang Bingkun, as the deputy presiding judge, unexpectedly knocked the presiding judge unconscious, and beheaded the Feng and E clans on the spot. This incident not only ruined my reputation, but also your reputation. So , I also ask King Jing to use your king whip to seek justice for me." Zhu Tianxiang said with "just words".

When Zhu Tianxiang said this, a group of old officials on Wang Bingkun's side really got worried.After all, Prince Jing is one of the promisers, and Wang Bingkun's actions are tantamount to sweeping his face.

"Oh, there are other things like this?" Prince Jing looked at Wang Bingkun in 'surprise'.

"Hmph! The old minister is standing right, and the two clans of Feng and E will not die. This matter will cause more harm. Although the old minister's actions have swept the prince's face, he has a clear conscience." Wang Bingkun said with his head held high and his chest held high.

In the past two days, all the ministers were about to explode with anger. Today, Wang Bingkun 'knocked out' Zhu Tianjiang and beheaded the two clans of Feng and E on the spot, and he finally vented his anger on everyone.These civil servants have always been gentle, and it is the first time they have been officials in their entire life that they feel so happy to hit people with their hands.

Prince Jing's face sank, "Zhu Tianjiang is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments and the chief judge in charge of the rebels. He actually broke the promise and caused the Feng and E clans to be beheaded on the spot in the Ministry of Punishments. Come, give the damned Zhu Tianxiang to the Ministry of Justice. This king took it and escorted it to the clan mansion for trial."

Prince Jing's words stunned the two groups of people outside the palace gate.Especially people from Zhu Tianjiang's side, thinking that Prince Jing must be drunk, right?Even if you take someone, you should take Wang Bingkun.

The four officials from the clan's government stepped forward and put the shackles on Zhu Tianjiang, but Zhu Daguan didn't resist at all and let the officials do it.

"My lord, thousand years old, that's not right, how could you arrest my lord?" Shen Baigong said hoarsely.

"Nonsense, he is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and he is the chief judge, and this happened in the Ministry of Punishment. If I don't arrest him, why should I arrest you?" Prince Jing angrily said.

"Let go, whoever dares to arrest my lord, I will ram him to death." Daniel raised his iron bar and glared at everyone.

"Daniu, don't act recklessly! Zhu Yi Xia Qing, bring everyone back home." Zhu Tianjiang hurriedly ordered.

As soon as Zhu Daguan spoke, Daniel immediately became honest.Although Zhu Yi Xia Qing didn't understand why Prince Jing would do this, they knew that Prince Jing would never do Zhu Tianjiang any harm.Zhu Yi and Xia Qing led the officials of the Security Court and the Ministry of Punishment respectively, and withdrew from the gate of the palace in an 'extremely angry' manner.

As soon as these people left, the group of veterans cheered in unison as if they had won a battle, and praised Prince Jing for his fairness and strictness.

"Prince Jing, I have known you for so many years, and it's the first time I see you so wise." Wang Bingkun said excitedly.

Prince Jing curled his lips, the words were good words, but they sounded like curses.Prince Jing didn't even bother to pay attention, and led people directly into the palace gate.

As soon as he entered the Zongren Mansion, the shackles on Zhu Daguan's hands were immediately released.King Jing ordered someone to wait on tea and fruit, and he felt a little sorry for Zhu Tianjiang.

Zhu Tianxiang was not angry at all, he looked at Prince Jing cheerfully, "I said, my lord, did Emperor Chengwu ask you to do this?"

Prince Jing smiled awkwardly, "Heaven, I know you are dissatisfied, don't be a ninja, just scold if you want. There are no outsiders here, so it won't spread."

"What are you scolding, the emperor is right to do so. If he doesn't let you ask, then I will really scold you." Zhu Tianjiang said, picking up a fruit point and putting it in his mouth.

Prince Jing looked at Zhu Tianjiang in surprise, why this kid said the same thing as Emperor Cheng Wu said, he was really not angry.

"Tianxiang, what the hell are you doing, kid? Did you make an appointment with the emperor in advance?" Prince Jing looked at Zhu Tianxiang suspiciously.

Zhu Tianjiang clapped his hands and knocked off the scum from his hands, "My lord, don't think about it, if the emperor doesn't let you deal with it, those old ministers will not eat me when I go to court tomorrow. This trial of criminals , I have committed the anger of the public. Emperor Chengwu asked the clan to deal with it. It seems unreasonable, but in fact he is protecting him. This can not only calm the anger of the officials, but also lighten the punishment. Emperor Chengwu is very refined .”

Prince Jing stared at Zhu Tianjiang for a long time, thinking that he was numb and said that he is smart and you are not stupid.Lao Tzu is really a fan of the authorities, and was tricked by this old and young one.

In Qian Palace, Emperor Cheng Wu once again wrote an imperial decree.This imperial decree angrily reprimanded Zhu Tianxiang for engaging in favoritism and malpractice in adjudicating the case, revoked his position as minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and ordered Xiaoliang Wang Xuanle to retry the case.

Xuan Le was called into the palace, and when she learned that her father asked her to re-examine, Xuan Le looked around and asked softly.

"Father, how should this case be resolved?"

"What do you think?" Cheng Wuhuang asked back.

Xuan Le thought for a while and said, "Some criminal officials like Martin Tian are extremely heinous, but if they are killed, the common people will feel that you, Father, are too tolerant and have too much intention to kill others. I feel that it is better to kill these people. Exile for thousands of miles~ and then~ kill him halfway!" Xuan Le finished speaking, looking at her father carefully.

Emperor Cheng Wu squinted his eyes at Xuan Le, a smile gradually appeared on his face.Only with such a vicious heart can he be worthy of a great responsibility!
